Jands Echelon / Hog 1K - Create Fixture Profile

hi

you need a pc or mac with a floppy,

safe a show with the 1k on the floppy
open the libary folder and open the liblib file with a text editor

when you set a new fixture you have to set count +1

try this copy in for example edit it , try and error :

Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to write all that up, much appreciated.

I'll give it all a try & let you know how i go :headbang:

If it is the elation led wash 60. I have the profile for it. Just let me know if you need it.

Hey Patrick,

No these are just a generic unbranded Chinese 108 x 3 Watt LED moving head, i absolutely do not encourage buying Chinese lighting fixtures, but i also do not own the venue & the owner is someone who does not care for 'brands'

Cheers though.

I have a Hog 1k running Wholehog II v3.3 (177). I've received some American DJ Mega Bar 50 LED and want to add the fixture to my library. I've created the disk from the web page for adding fixtures, but when I go to add it following the directions I've seen, I don't get the same page from my show disk. I see the .lib file, but when I open it to add the fixture I get long streams of numbers. Am i missing something?

Yeah, it's all a bit too difficult, I'm thinking of upgrading to newer technology, I'll always enjoy the hog, but gotta move with the times eventually.

Maikel is correct guys, the easiest way to edit your libraries is to do it on a PC with a floppy drive (if you can find one), following these instructions-

flyingpig.com/support/hog2/technotes/addingHog2libraries.pdf

As for creating the library files, you should be able to figure out how to do it by taking existing libraries and doing a little editing and cutting & pasting. A couple of things to be aware of-
1) Make sure you write the parameters in the same order as they are listed on your DMX chart for the fixture.
2) If your DMX chart indicates "fine" control on a separate channel-
(ex- Ch 1 = Pan, Ch 2 = Pan (fine)
-write that as one parameter, but show it as 16 bit instead of 8 bit.
3) make sure that all of the names you show for your parameters are also listed in the FUNCTION.TXT file in the Library folder.

Tip- If you list the manufacturer as "0", the fixture will show up in your "Generic" folder on the Hog.

I can send you a library file I created which includes several kinds of LED fixtures, both moving and static. and it should include every kind of parameter you will run into. Just let me know.

If that seems like to much hassle, there is a link to a good Hog 2 Library Generator (freeware) on Flying Pig's Wholehog 2 Libraries page.

It's really not all that difficult once you do it a few times!

Hi all

making fixtures for the 1k is a bit tricky but not difficult

for the 1st idea look to the manual and look to
www.flyingpig.com/support/hog2/technotes/addingHog2libraries.pdf

special one : for some fixtures eg led pars without dimmer change ltp to htp
in the color / type

thumbs up

Hi Jazzeraz
when you safe a blank show on floppy , find and open the lib lib file and paste my blind try text try and error , change and find your way - thumbs up

The file is specifically "_lib.lib" (yes, the underscore is real). There are other files ending in .lib that are *NOT* the one you edit, and I suspect that you grabbed one of those.

So as it turns out we ended up getting Martin Mac 101 LED Movers, so i guess i just need to upload the fixture lib for a 101?

Hi There. Would you be willing to send me over that LED library file you have as I am a newb also on her first design and programming mission and have a few fixtures I can't seem to find profiles for anywhere that I need to write.

email is: rcapuano13@gmail.com

Thanks!

We just bought a used Hog 1000 and im tring to set up fixture profiles for the Chauvet COLORado Batten 72. But every time i go to load it, it is giving me an error. All of the codes are the same as another rgbaw fixture i loaded just fine. Any thoughts? I have included the codes.

My first thought is that since you did not use a mfg/product code that is unique - if this one carried over from what you started with, the conflict will be fatal. Local adds are normally mfg=99, IIRC . . .
or, you could always tell us what the error is that you get - that might be helpful!
